Two books devoted to Petko Staynov Petko Staynov in the Memory of Time and Choral Songs by Petko Staynov

Summary/Abstract: The life-work of Petko Staynov (1896 – 1977) is engraved in time, but the vision of others about him remains scattered in various publications and unpublished statements from scientific and other forums, in conversations and interviews... The collection Petko Staynov in the Memory of Time is devoted to a many-sided reflection of the personality of Petko Staynov in the cultural spirit of his time, traced over the years in the context of artistic and aesthetic perspective and spiritual values. Here in are chronologically presented: dozens of materials devoted to the composer, the pianist and the public figure Petko Staynov, as they appeared in periodicals and other publications from the 1920’s until now; unpublished papers and speeches from conferences and roundtables; unpublished photographs from Petko Staynov’s archives as well as portraits of the composer by famous Bulgarian artists. Choral Songs by Petko Staynov present a selection of 14 choral works by the great composer, which are still part of the concert repertories of a number of Bulgarian choirs. Over the last decade, these works have become equally popular in a number of European countries and around the World by being performed on the stages of international choral events. At the end of this collection is published the only one discovered until now composition by Petko Staynov composed in the spirit of the Eastern Orthodox choral tradition - Hristos voskrese. Based upon some publications, one can argue that Staynov did compose even a whole lyturgy, which unfortunately has not been discovered yet in his Braille archive.
